Scott Tolzien has been the backup quarterback in Indianapolis for the last two seasons. He’s been forced to make two starts during his tenure with the Colts, and those games exposed that Tolzien’s time as an NFL quarterback are likely numbered.
He completed 22 of his 36 pass attempts for just over 200 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions in last year’s loss against the Steelers. He was the Colts’ Week 1 starter this season where he completed 50% of his passes for 128 yards with 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
The Colts didn’t wait long to pull Tolzien for Jacoby Brissett, even though they had only traded for Brissett about a week before their first regular season game against the Rams.
